We hosted a two-day international conference on the 7 and 8 February 2017 entitled ‘Migration and Families in Europe: National and Local Perspectives at a Time of Euroscepticism’. The conference brought together scholars, practitioners and policy makers from the UK and Europe to discuss the complexity of migration and what it means for families in the current political climate. The conference explored a range of topics on family migration including ageing and elderly migration; refugee families; parenting and migrant children; family migration policies and the movement of families to and within the EU; and methods and challenges in researching family migration.
